It's odd that you cite Gemini on the S24 as the straw that broke the camel's back when Bixby (and its dedicated button) has been around since 2017.

Messenger and Marketplace are insanely successful. You have to be willfully blind to not see it.

Twitter and Youtube, sure. But the blast radius of a Facebook post doesn't have the same reach given the majority of posts go to your explicit network of connections. Unless you're specifically referring to Facebook Groups? But th

The author's comparison of Tree/Graph approach doesn't flow logically from the discussion about ad-hoc documentation. Searching Slack for answers has become more valuable to me because of this ad-hoc nature. StackOverflow is

It's been replaced by whatever genre you would describe Black Mirror as. A reflection of the modern dystopia we live in within the context of the current year.

As a Torontonian, the problem with it has always been with both the data sovereignty and overall control by a non-Canadian entity. The problem of technology, foreign control, and what we give up is especially acute when someone like Jim Bal

This still largely ignores the Data Sovereignty issue for non-US citizens. The US government still maintains control and oversight of US companies that rule the non-China markets. Data flow still runs through US data centres or even through

"In order to best serve our retail merchants and learn about React Native in a physical retail setting, we decided to build out the new POS natively for iOS and use React Native for Android." Unbelievable, really. The previous par

If I'm China, wouldn't I be concerned if the opposite were true? That my military capabilities didn't allow me the ability to at least defend my continent/sphere of influence from my greatest enemy? It's one thing

You know what else the city could do to clear cars along a major transit corridor? Stop allowing taxis to park on Richmond just outside the Hilton hotel at University. Those taxis & cars parked at Richmond & University are singlehan

The part that gets me the most about killing Inbox and forcing users to go back to Gmail is the accumulation of Pinned emails. I was happy to oblige to using pins when I transitioned from Gmail -> Inbox. Stars were replaced with pins bu

What you have to understand is that Facebook is effectively the defacto global identity system. Russian bots and astroturfing aside, it's still the most widely used and deployed identity verification service around that is borderless

Well, there are a few issues with this. Firstly, many Waterloo STEM students already do this based on the school's curriculum of interweaving work and study terms. Fortunately and unfortunately, these are exactly the students being lu

I can also attest to CV being a great OMSCS class. To me they are by far the best lectures in the program in terms of breadth and depth. They're the most similar to in-class instruction of a university unlike every other class in the

It's worth pointing out that BECAUSE Dropbox recently announced their plans to IPO, all media coverage is now viewed in light of what's best to prop up their pricing. No surprise that they are including names like Google, Microsof

This is really too bad. I loved Swype and used it since it was in beta. It was always (and still is) better than every other keyboard and gesture-keyboard for me. I tried switching to GBoard for a while because I felt it was inevitable t

Well for one, cryptocurrencies (at their current prices) can be divided much greater than simply "1 share". I'm saying that the price that Robinhood sets is dependent on orderbook price which they control. Example: you buy $

So who is responsible for Robinhood's orderbook? Are they partnering with an existing exchange to fulfill market/limit orders? Are they simply paying for the trading fees on behalf of users? If Robinhood isn't posting their

It's never really about the devs. It's about creating buy-in from management to support the work that needs to be done. You'll be hard-pressed to find leadership that is generally willing to re-architect/re-engineer apps

Between the introduction of Instant Run and Genymotion going to a paid business model, I'd say the Emulator has improved exponentially. I tend to alternate between using the Emulator and using a device depending on what I'm worki

It's probably safer to assume CSE/CSIS would use open-source tools than stuff from MSFT/ORCL.

I find the convergence typically by design on the part of the Designers, PMs, and decision-makers up top as opposed to their actually being a need for convergence. I often attribute this to a strong lack of diversity of teams whereby there

I used it a bunch of times and having it on campus was pretty great. It was way safer than having the packages left randomly at the front of your residence. So as far as a "solved problem" is concerned, this definitely wasn't

I can echo a similar scenario as above. While plugging in my phone to Android Auto is easy, there is still the time required to allow your phone to transition from WiFi to LTE, back-up-camera enabled when backing out of your garage, and op

It's a cute analogy perpetuated by GenX VCs and crypto-wonks who don't see a down-side in making bold, wild claims. It's one of the many problems today in which there is no down-side risk on making extremely early predictions
